Ciara Miller and Amanda Batula are looking back on their many moments with “fan fiction” after Paige DeSorbo said she was obsessed with the bogus reports after being faced with a rumor claiming she “ruined” Craig Conover‘s alleged plans to propose.

Before sharing their hopes for the newly single Paige, 32, and teasing what is to come on Summer House season nine, Ciara, 29, and Amanda, 33, admitted how “creative” some rumors can be, with Amanda commenting on the many divorce reports she’s been dealt and Ciara sharing that she’s been accused of getting plastic surgery, including a boob job.

“We’ve all been on the other side of it where it’s so obviously rumors,” Amanda told Page Six on January 22. “There’s been so many rumors about us all individually that any headline [that] comes out, I’m just like, ‘This is ridiculous.’”

That said, Ciara said it was “kind of fun” to see what rumors come about.

“It’s like, ‘Oh my God, what else can they make up?’” she wondered. “We really have to commend the creativity and the thought process that goes into everything, because that’s admirable. They should write a book.”

“I’m telling you, the fan fiction is wild!” Amanda agreed. “It’s crazy, though. Those headlines and those ridiculous things are literally never true.”

As fans well know, Amanda and her husband, Kyle Cooke, 42, who she married in 2021, have regularly faced rumors of a split — and of pregnancies.

“I think I’ve been pregnant, like, five different times,” Amanda laughed. “And Kyle and I are always getting divorced!”

Meanwhile, Ciara said that fake reports about her supposed breast augments are “the best.”

“Thank you!” she proclaimed.

During another interview, Amanda and Paige addressed Paige’s split from Craig, 35.

“I love all versions of Paige,” Amanda told Us Weekly on January 23. “I love Paige in a relationship and I love single Paige. She’s our friend at the end of the day, so whatever makes her happy [we support].”

Ciara agreed with the sentiments, saying, “Whatever choice and decisions [Paige makes], we’re on her side no matter what it is.”

“Honestly, I’m excited for her to kind of spread her wings outside of this relationship and hit the streets with me,” Ciara continued.

As she looked ahead to Paige and Ciara being single at the same time, Amanda said she was “jealous” as she joked that she “might have to leave Kyle” so she could join.

“I [texted Amanda, and was] like, ‘Amanda, how are you doing over there?’ I’m like, ‘Do you feel like you want to join the single girls club?’” Ciara revealed, clarifying that she “[loves] Kyle” and would never want them to split.

“He can still be around, but maybe we just search for your second husband,” Ciara added before considering Amanda as a “wingman.”

“Yes. I [will] just be there just hanging out,” Amanda replied.

Then, during a third interview, the ladies dished on season nine.

“I’m going to be honest, I don’t really remember what we filmed,” Ciara shared with Life & Style.

“What’s most important is that the ladies got along, who cares about anything else?” Amanda noted, describing the upcoming episodes as “different” than past seasons — “but in the best way” with the “same old drama.”

As for how Ciara felt reuniting with her former flame, West Wilson, 30, she revealed, “My mindset was more so, ‘Oh my God, I can’t wait to hang out with my friends more. I can’t wait.’”

“Honestly, my mindset was like, look, I’m conserving my energy for certain people, and certain people get a certain version of me, and that’s just kind of what it is,” she added.

Also speaking to Life & Style, Ciara confessed to struggling with “anxiety” from the drama of the show.

“The anxiety is a little bit much. That’s why I don’t watch,” she shared.

Summer House season nine premieres on Wednesday, February 12, at 9/8c on Bravo.
